Talay is a collection of luxury 4, 5 and 6-bedroom standalone villas by Aldar, located at Marsa Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. It is the first residential address in Marsa Al Saadiyat and includes two gated communities: Talay, with 167 villas, and Talay Beach Villas, with 184 villas set closer to the shoreline. Prices start from AED 13.5 million with a 50/50 payment plan, and handover begins in Q4 2029. Inspired by Emirati heritage, Talay features a flowing aflaj water feature, areesh-inspired screens, smart-home systems and exclusive beach access, all within minutes of the Saadiyat Cultural District.

Talay sits within Marsa Al Saadiyat, the newest destination on Saadiyat Island, with 8 km of waterfront and Abu Dhabi's largest marina. The Jame'e Mosque is 100 m away, a school is 300 m away, the beach club is 650 m away and the marina is 1 km from home. Eight cultural landmarks, including Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and teamLab Phenomena, are about 5 minutes away. ADGM is around 12 minutes by car, central Abu Dhabi about 18 minutes, Yas Island about 20 minutes and Zayed International Airport about 23 minutes.

Talay is designed around the belief that the best moments happen outdoors. A green corridor and the traditional aflaj water feature run through the community, connecting homes with shaded paths and shared spaces. Residents enjoy a resort style community pool and kids' pool, glass walled padel courts, a light filled gym, jogging tracks and cycling loops. Families can gather at the Outdoor Majlis Pavilion, explore the maritime inspired Kids' Discovery Garden or relax in the picnic areas and pet park. The beach is within 1 km, with exclusive beach access for residents.
Talay is developed by Aldar Properties, one of the UAE's most trusted real estate developers. The project includes 351 standalone villas across two gated communities. Talay offers 167 villas centred on family life and greenery, with handover expected in Q4 2029. Talay Beach Villas offers 184 villas closer to the waterfront, with handover expected in Q4 2030. Villas range from about 5,403 to 6,824 sq ft of built-up area, on plots of about 7,922 to 9,505 sq ft. Every home includes integrated smart-home systems for lighting, climate and security. The community is built for sustainability, with a 30%+ reduction in energy use and a 42% reduction in water use.

Talay villas come in two interior finish schemes, light and warm, with carefully selected materials, textures and tones. Show kitchens and daily kitchens, brushed bronze metal details and engineered stone surfaces give each home a refined, lasting character.

Talay honours centuries old craft through contemporary design. Boundary walls and screens reinterpret traditional areesh palm-frond weaving, created with Emirati designer Abdalla Almulla, while the aflaj water feature naturally cools the air as it flows through the community.
